I have found volunteering to be extremely helpful towards this course. I can't tell you how many ideas for my papers have come out of my experience. Being a part of CSLP has been a great asset. By being directly involved in the school system has given be a perspective that I would not have been able to have if I was only researching the situation. I am emotionaly invested in these students and their welfare, and because of this I am even more interested and determined to make the situation better for them.
Even though I am a business major I have always been interested in working with children, and in the past even considered becoming a teacher. As sad as this may seem, my experience in the schools has made me happy that I am not becoming a teacher. As much as I love children, I would not want to be responsible for twenty or so student's education. Being a teacher is an enormous responsiblity and is extremely difficult. I know that I want to continue my involvement in public schools, but as a volunteer.
